ASTRONAUT AARDVARK ATTACK
Astronaut Aardvark Attack is brothers Pacer and The Stride, who have been making music together for more than two decades. The boys self-released an LP, "Songs for the Escape Pod" (2019). Five singles have followed: "Tin Feet" (2020); "You Can't Pretend (To Be Vaccinated)" (2021); "Sucker Punch" (April, 2023); "Blue Sea" (May, 2023), and "Monster" (January, 2025). A sophomore LP (Meddlings and Monsters) is scheduled for release in early 2025, following the single, "Monster".
"Monster" is the lead single to the new album. Monster addresses a potential future where the guardrails for nuclear war have evaporated. That future may exist in a crystal ball but that's not a reflection of reality yet.
No one sounds quite like the boys. They boast eclectic indie-pop, alternative, synthy, and shoegaze tunes that are heavy in up-beat tempos, unforgettable guitar hooks, compelling lyrics, power synths, classic rock keys, melodic bass lines, and world instruments and rhythms. The music is difficult to categorize but results from a mash-up of Indie-pop, New Wave, ‘90’s alternative, Classic Rock, Post Punk, and world (Celtic and bluegrass influences). Astronaut Aardvark Attack has a signature sound; give 'em a listen on any streaming platform and bandcamp! And drop 'em a line if you love what you hear...or hate it...or anything in between. Cheers!
